Hi all, need advice if i'm in the right track on my money management

Nett income (after deduct epf and all): RM3.5k (already work for 3 yrs-current age 27)

House installment: RM700 (bought 2nd hand hs 2 yrs ago)
Car loan: 620 (still got 2.5 yrs left to pay off)
Phone bills: 80
Transportation:300
Savings: 500-800 (big chunck used for travelling- 2-3 trips per year)
Insurance (med card):150
Misc: 500
current saving :20K (consider as emergency fund put in FD)

Didn't do any kind of investment, money just sit in FD.
*
Settle the car loan with your travel budget.
Insurance can terminate it, then rm150 extra can put in EPF. In case of sick, can always use government's service.
And most of the time, sickness is collect by your self, by having a bad lifestyle.
Phone bill still can do better, mine are only rm10-15 a month.
My name currently only registered 1 car loan.

Older people nowadays always tell the ladies to have their own income and earning ability.

For the same reasons, why would you terminate your own health insurance?

Why I terminate it? Because a simple word : they are cheating. Case closed.

I wish you can elaborate more so some of the guys here can help you out.

Because if what you say is true, then we have a massive problem because BNM would be regulating a bunch of companies out there cheating people here and there.

Hi sifus,

Below are my current situation :
Housing Loan - RM 133k (Interest 2.85%) --> Staff Loan.
PTPTN - RM 9k (Interest 4%)
ASB Loan - RM 104k (Interest 4.85%) --> Staff Rate.

Below are my savings :
ASB - RM 14k (Total RM 114k include ASB Loan)
Extra savings per month around RM1k - RM1.2k.
From the above outstanding loans, should I close any of the loans or should I start savings.
Your opinions is greatly appreciated.
*
All the loans you never mention monthly payment.
With that extra rm1-1.2k savings, I'll settle PTPTN loan first, follow by ASB loan, last your housing loan.
When you are 0 loan, then you will have more savings and you will know better where your money is going.

Housing Loan - RM 133k (Interest 2.85%) --> Staff Loan (RM918 @ 15 years)
PTPTN - RM 9k (Interest 4%) RM100
ASB Loan - RM 104k (Interest 4.85%) --> Staff Rate. (RM550 @ 30 years)

As for ASB loan, I believe the loan will be self sustain after a year if I decided wanna use the RM550 for different purposes.
Housing Loan, I can withdraw for Acct 2 EPF to pay a lump sum payment to lessen the period. (is it a good idea?)
As for PTPTN, I'm paying lesser than my astro. smile.gif Do you think I need to pay off RM9k lum sump or keep it in ASB and take the dividen to pay it off slowly.
*
Just another question, what is the total %(rm1568) from your net income?
As far as possible, don't use EPF's money but settle either ASB or housing first, after PTPTN. Astro I will cut also, Streamyx/Unifi will be better.
Again, is depending to your life style.

Wow, you really have a good life style(enjoy then suffer), 27 years old only but already having bad debts of >rm100k notworthy.gif notworthy.gif
I'm fat, but I never go to gym. I believe licking a MP's leg, I can get free medical coverage. So I never buy any insurance. rm360 on the spot in hand for use.
With rm360 extra, can use it to settle you CC debt, ASAP.
RHB loan you can pay rm1050, balance rm50 use it to pay other CC's debt.
18% of interest are not a joke.

Around 32%.
As for ASB loan, I treat the loan as my "forced savings account".
Furthermore I don't think I wanna cancelled it or settle it earlier. Where else can you find interest rate of 4.85% in return of 7.5% (not include bonus)?
For housing loan, the interest rate is just 2.85% due to staff loan.

Compare RM100k in ASB (return 7.5%) vs RM100k to settle the housing loan (interest rate 2.85%) . Which one you prefer?
*
My answer still the same : 0 loan and debts.
Why I want to gain 2% of interest from my saving where in the first place I can get 7%?
I guess you are a Malay, right? Sometimes I really envy Malays, as they have better investment return package compare to Indian or Chinese cry.gif

bro.. do you know what is the interest rate for each credit card?
is it cheaper to convert all this CC into "transfer balance" program with 0% interest? with this, i think you can pay off it within a year.

as for ptptn, what is your "kos pentadbiran" per month? if you didn't pay your ptptn, it will increase your overall "baki keseluruhan pinjaman".
imagine if your kos pentadbiran is RM100, it will added up RM1.2k per year in your overall PTPTN loan.

as for other expenses, i'm no sifu to advice. settle your debt 1st, then tackle the unnecessary expenses.

p/s : i also have few "bad" debt in 2012 consist of personal loan 20k, car loan 10k, cc debt 25k but managed to solve this issue. if i can do it, you also can do it.

Some of them already reaching the limit doh.gif
With his case, it won't be easy to convert, since for bank it is considered high risk(by rejecting they get 18% PA of interest).
Rely on BT won't really solve the root cause. The best way is look for family members to borrow a lump sum of money to settle those bad debts.

Hey guys,

I'm fresh out of university and fresh into a white collar job. Financially, I'm in a good state; I track my spending and I budget all of my money. I save up money to use for investing and to use for things that I enjoy. I live well within my means and I have an emergency fund prepared.

I attended a crash course recently aimed towards first time home buyers (don't worry, I don't plan on buying one anytime soon). One of the speakers mentioned that having a good credit rating can greatly help with your bargaining power with the bank. He then suggested that we get a credit card to start building our credit rating from now. I'll find something with little to no annual fees (or one with low requirements to waive the fee), avoid all the late payment interest and use it entirely just to build credit. I am aware that having a credit card does not give me free money, it's simply an alternate way of using money I already have.

Is this a good idea or a bad idea?
*
What type of "bargaining power" that the joker said? You can buy a subsale house that original price was rm300k but just a flip and selling for rm600k and yet you still can get 100%?
Credit rating no need to be recorded by credit card. By your bank account, EPF account also can tell how good you are. I already 2 years never take loan and yet I still can get it approved within few days.

2 years never take loan already means previously you took loan before. OUr friend above is fresh and i assume that he have never have any sort of loan with any banks at all thus zero credit record. bank cannot assess this person's reliability in repaying outstanding amount. That's why the guru adviced our friend here to get a cc to have a credit rating. afaik, get the cc but never use it also fine. still show credit rating. This one i don't know why though. any guru can enlighten me?

The speaker wasn't a representative from the banks, so on the surface it doesn't seem like he had anything to gain from people signing up for cards. His reasoning was the same as what zenwell said; from a bank's point of view, someone with no history of bill payments is harder to trust than someone with a good history of bill payments. Curious to know what else you have to say about this.

And thanks to everyone for the replies so far. They've been helpful icon_rolleyes.gif

My mother never take a single housing loan from she start work till 56 years old. Her income only rm2000-3000, but yet she is still getting her rm70000 for 15 years loan approved. As it is below rm100k, the interest rate are higher, from OCBC.
As said, bank won't really bother much on with clean record or not as that is just a small factor, bigger factor is your job nature and your EA/EPF.
That joker sure work for someone, if not bank then either can be property agent or any so-call financial expert that are here to mislead people on simply investing something.
BTW, once you have credit card already, you may not able to do what you are doing now. As you tends to spend more.

Own self do the maths, very simple. Make sure you have rm1000 that can be saved in FD. So, net income - rm1000, balance of the money only can use 30% to serve a loan.
Also, have to consider BLR at 10%'s impact.

Actually his advice is right, get a credit card to show some repayment behaviour/record for the bank before you commit to a larger loan.

Basically, once you got a credit card, your ccris record will have your credit card limit amd usage and repayment behavior.

if one would delay his card payment, eg got 2 or 3 appearing, chances of getting his loan for mortgages or car will be tough.

however, if a person does not have any ccris record, it does not mean that you won't be able to get loan. You will still be able to get, however, your record might not allow you to huge commitment or a better margin or a better rate.

Different bank got different criteria. Example of one of my previous client, although working in a listed company, at age 28, without any ccris record, hong leong bank approve a margin of 80% instead of 90% for his financing.

it is good to have credit card. Credit card doesn't mean many debts, it is ur own hand that determine whether you want to simply use or not and create unnecessary debts.

For fresh graduate working in MNC or listed company, your loan application might have a better chance, you cannuse apply loan using 3 mth payslip.

however, for small timer unknown sdn bhd or enterprise, you will need to provide payslip, bank statement, epf, ea form, income tax for a better chances of approval

Your question cannot be answered accurately because of inadequate information.

But based on Annual income of RM75k, nett pay almost around 65k, which means a monthly nett pay of RM 5.6k.

At RM 5.6k nett a month, say a DSR of 70%, that's a balance of RM 3.9k for your bank/financial installment to cater for your
- Car loan
- Mortgage
- P/L
- Credit Card

Based on a loan of RM 1million, interest rate of 4.4%, a 35 years tenure, monthly repayment is RM 4670 a month. So this case, no need to think much about it although you have a good payment record, because your income also doesn't allow you to commit to such thing. If your age is older, like 50 years old, the tenure will be slash further, putting a higher commitment.
Exception case is unless you got
- A huge sum of cash in your bank, say 500k, put to FD and pledge to the bank, lock for 35 years.
- Take in a joint borrower which had a strong income, at least can commit another extra RM3000 a month
- Or don't opt for 1m loan, opt for a lower margin.
*
I just want to point out that having good credit card payment means nothing, own annual income, total savings are more important thumbup.gif
With rm75k of annual income, after deducting everything(income tax, EPF, SOCSO), net will be only rm60000 the most.
Before serving any loan, daily expenses and sudden death spending also need to consider first, so balance will be at rm2500 or even lesser if work in KL. Can still simply take loan?

you are correct on your behalf thou even with a high annual income and high total savings, if your credit card repayments showing outstanding payment it would weaken your credit rating. All in all, in order to get the loan approval, you will have to prove to the bank that you are well equipped such as enough fixed income to carry out the repayments, good repayment history, not bankruptcy and most importantly u must have the sufficient fund for the downpayments.

Without a credit card, best method is from the saving's amount thumbup.gif thumbup.gif
But again there's no right or wrong on this, is matter how the bloody officer rates it.
